Miss Elizabeth L. Watling, Supervising Nurse, called to the attention of the
Board a letter i'eceived from the North Carolina State Board of Health pertaining
to a change in policy for the purchase of Salk Polio Vaccine effective June 30,
1957. She stated that this conununication indicated that no Federal appropriation
has been set up for the purchase of this vaccine after June 30, 1957, and that
it would be necessaI'Y for local appropriating groups or organizations to purchase
any vaccine given free by the health department after that date.
Miss Watling discussed, item by item, the recommendations made by a nursing
survey team from the North Carolina State Board of Health. The Board members
listened attentatively and conunented on items from time to time.
The Board approved resolutions requesting that the personnel of the health
department be coordinated with the Federal Social Security so that a referendum
may be held on May 15, 1957. The Board approved and signed the resolutions to
be sent to the Governor's Agent, Mr. Nathan Yelton; on motion by Dr. Wessell,
seconded by Mr. Roland..
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
